Hello everyone!
So, I've decided to write this out so that the board won't become cluttered. These are just a couple of rules to follow while using the MJD boards!
You MUST use descriptive titles when creating threads. For example - 'This is such a cool video!' is not descriptive. 'Billie Jean Performance, Motown 25' IS descriptive. By doing this, you will help make this forum easy to navigate.
Search the board before you post! In most forums, there are people who create double-ups of threads, without searching first. To prevent this from happening, please use the 'search' button which is located underneath the banner of this site.
ALWAYS show respect. You are expected to show respect towards others while using this forum. If you happen to disagree about something, move on. If myself or any of the staff find that you're being rude, your 'karma' will be taken down by 15 points. If you're caught a second time, you will lose 50 karma points. If it happens more than twice, you will be either banned or temporarily banned from using MJD, depending on how bad the situation is.
Posting links As I've stated previously, you must be descriptive while posting. The same applies for posting links. You must state what the site/video/etc you're linking is about.
Minimum Swearing. There may be people under the age of 13 on this board. Please be aware of this and keep the swearing to a minimum.
DO NOT create a new thread to start a conversation with another member. Use the PRIVATE MESSAGING feature instead.
Banning members MJD bans these people:
- Michael Jackson haters.
- Rude, ignorant people. (Repeat offenders)
- Members who spam their own site.
Different members may be banned for different reasons. Please keep this in mind.
Make sure to stick to the topic a thread was created for. Please do not change the topic. Make sure to either use the PM feature or create a new thread if necessary.
Respect Michael's & the children's privacy. Do NOT post threads asking if the children are actually His. Michael claims they are His own, so please do not discuss this further as members have in the past been disagreeing.
Embedding videos/Posting pictures If you feel like the video/picture you're going to post may upset your fellow members, please state this in the thread title. If you're not creating a new thread, please state a warning above the video/picture.
Signature pictures Please make sure that your signature does not exceed the width of 650px, and the height of 500px. Big pictures will take longer to load, making the forum painful to navigate for dial-up users.
Thank you all for reading, guys. Enjoy your time here.
